| Post subject: | Why can't I understand threads/suppressor? |
SO evike.com had a big sale on stuff and I bought a new tracer unit. I thought I ordered the right one but I sent a note to confirm. Here is what I wrote on the order. I have a standard TM M4A1 in which the suppressor tightens while turning clockwise with the weapon pointed away. Please confirm that i have selected the correct threads for the tracer. They are shipping the one I ordered which was wrong. Is this my fault? Also, is there an easy way to remember -/+ cw/ccw? |

You need a CCW threaded one. Most Airsoft is 14x1 CCW. Link to what you ordered/are getting? Normal clockwise thread is lefty loosey, righty tighty, when looking down at the thing rather than from behind. SAS |

With the barrel pointing up, if the thread slopes up to the right its a Right Hand thread, if it slopes up to the left then it's a left hand thread. Now, the CW/CCW description comes from how the thread is tightened. So if you have a Right Hand thread, you will need a CCW as you have to tighten the thread by rotating the attachment CCW.  Hope that helps |

Evike should know that a standard TM M4A1 has a -ve thread. Also your italic description does correctly identify a -ve(CCW) thread (albeit in a roundabout fashion). |

OK, so if I get an adapter. Do I buy a pos to neg or neg to pos? http://www.evike.com/products/40033/ It's like a surrealistic nightmare. My gun is neg but the tracer is pos. |

Neg to pos. http://www.evike.com/products/40034/ http://www.evike.com/products/40032/ http://www.evike.com/products/27508/ Keep it together, don't lose the thread. SAS |
